The Huns in Jiuyuan City never expected that the army of the Qin State came to Jiuyuan, and did not wave the big sword in their hands at them, nor did they drive them out of the city, and seemed to be a little friendly?

Seeing that several elders were taken away, some of the women couldn't sit still, so they gathered in groups to discuss.

"Tell me, what kind of heart is this Qin Jun?" A fat sister-in-law said in a low voice.

A younger, round-faced woman said: "I don't think there is any good intentions in nine out of ten, we are just afraid that there will be more luck and less luck." ”

The fat sister-in-law said sharply: "If that's the case, we can't sit and wait for death, take the guy and fight with them!" ”

"Yes, fight with them." Several of the women chimed in.

An old woman on the side reprimanded, "What do you all know! Desperate with the army, what is the difference between that and sending to death? You are so dead that you don't say, can you still let those dolls die in vain? ”

"That's right, my mother-in-law is right." A rather attractive young woman beside her helped, "You don't want to think about it, men are captured and still beg for mercy, not to mention that we women and children, in my opinion, we contribute some food, it's a big deal to leave here, and we won't be driven out." ”

The fat sister-in-law was still unconvinced and said: "You said it easily, don't forget, our men have all died at the hands of Qin Jun." ”

The old woman glared at her and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense here, I obviously heard that they were exterminated by Da Shan Yu on the charge of rebellion, but they did not die at the hands of the Qin army." ”

"Even if they didn't die directly in the hands of the Qin army, it was because of the Qin army that they couldn't come back." The round-faced woman spoke, her eyes already red, as if she remembered her man.

The old woman sighed: "At the beginning, I said that I would listen to Da Shan Yu, withdraw from this city, and return to the grassland, but the king of Xiu Tu has already squinted his mind and is bent on making some trouble for Daqin. ”

At this moment, I saw a group of Qin troops in the distance surrounding an old Xiongnu man, with a few carriages behind them, walking towards them.

The old man walked a few steps quickly, grabbed the old woman's somewhat dry hand, and said happily: "Old woman, we don't have to die, and we don't have to move." ”

The old woman was stunned and said, "King Qin let us go?" ”

"It's not just letting go, it's just a favor." The old man said, "He said that since Da Dan Yu was allocated to Da Qin south of Yinshan, then the people here will naturally be Qin people in the future, and they will also set up a trade market in Jiuyuan in order to sell the goods of the Central Plains to the Xiongnu." ”

All the women present were taken aback.

You must know that the reason why many tribes on the grassland always think about the land of the Central Plains is because they envy the rich days there.

At present, although this land belongs to Daqin, not only did the people not drive themselves, but also opened up commerce here, so that the herdsmen could buy the goods they needed, and the people of Jiuyuan could naturally benefit from this trade.

It can be said that you don't have to work hard anymore to live the same life as the Central Plains, why not?

"And that's not all." The old man continued, "King Qin also gave us a lot of food, and sent some people to teach us to farm and spin cloth, he knew that our light and strong people died on the battlefield, so he specially asked us to recruit some young men from the grassland. ”

Hearing this, the eyes of those women were red, and it seemed that they did not have to continue to be widowed for the rest of their lives.

"Come, give food to everyone." The old man said, "If anyone has anti-Qin thoughts in the future, my old man will be the first to refuse." ”

In this way, Ying Zheng's strategic means have won the hearts of the people of the Jiuyuan Xiongnu, and the next step is naturally to migrate some Qin people to work here.

Before leaving Jiuyuan, Ying Zheng sent a letter to Zheng Guo in Liyang, this guy is good at repairing canals, and it is not a problem to build roads, he ordered Zheng Guo to reorganize the original idle laborers and start repairing the straight road from Xianyang to Shangjun.

As for the section from Jiuyuan to Shangjun, he took Meng Yi to personally inspect it, and then returned to Shangjun.

These days, Huan Qi and the two brothers Qiang and Solin get along quite well.

Huan Qi even sent a lot of people to help them build boats and study water nature.

News also came from Wang Qian's side, saying that he had taken two more cities of Zhao State, and now Li Mu had personally led a large army to come to the rescue, and confronted the Qin army in the east of Que and Yi.

After a day of repairs in Shangjun, Ying Zheng was thinking about whether to go to Wang Jian to see the excitement, but saw Huan Qi enter the door to ask for peace.

"Your Majesty, are you thinking about the battle ahead?"

Ying Zheng nodded: "Li Mu is not a mediocre talent, although we have advantages in all aspects, but I am only afraid that he will see through our strategy and be prepared." ”

Huan Qi arched his hand and said: "I think back then, my teacher treated me like a mountain, whenever I think of the past, I can't help but burst into tears, always thinking about inheriting the name of my teacher and solving problems for the king." ”

The teacher in Huan Qi's mouth naturally refers to the deceased Mengfu.

When it comes to Meng Fu, Ying Zheng's heart can't help but tremble, and he also remembers a lot of the past when he was young.

"Listen to what you mean, do you want to participate in the attack on Zhao?" Ying Zheng asked.

Huan Qi nodded and said, "I have this idea, but it's all up to the king's arrangement." ”

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "My original idea was just to let Wang Jian spend money with Li Mu first, but now it seems that if you put more pressure on them, maybe Zhao Guo's grain and grass will be consumed faster." ”

In fact, Ying Zheng understands in his heart that as Meng Qian's apprentice, Huan Qi always wants to fight for some face for the Meng family, and now that the position of the coach of Zhao is given to Wang Qian, he must be a little unwilling, if he is asked to go and deal with it, he may be able to calm him down and reduce some pressure on Wang Qian.

Seeing that King Qin was relieved, Huan Qi hurriedly said: "As long as the king gives me 30,000 horses, I will take the lead in crossing the river to open up a road for Qiang and Suolin, and also to fight for General Wang Qian." ”

Ying Zheng said: "It's okay for you to cross the river first, but you can't rush in easily, so as to ensure that they can support you at any time." Let them watch over you first, and when the boat is ready, they will cross the river to meet you. ”

"Wechen obeys!" Huan Qi bowed down again, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

Ying Zheng wrote a warrant, covered the imperial seal, and gave Huan Qi a tiger talisman, and then said: "30,000 horses is a bit less, you can bring all the 50,000 horses in Shangjun, if the battle situation changes, I will send troops to reinforce you." ”

Huan Qi received the order and began to prepare to lead the army across the river.

Ying Zheng told Qiang and Thorin again, and then led the team to leave Shangjun and return to the Northland.

It's been nearly a month since he came out, and he's really worried about whether there will be anything else on Wuchan's side.

After all, it is not easy to pacify the Elite Clan.

As soon as he entered the territory under the jurisdiction of Beidi County, he saw that from time to time there were well-dressed clansmen guarding the roadside to salute him along the way, thinking that they were probably assigned here, and his heart was full of gratitude to King Qin.

Before he arrived at Yiqu City, he saw Thumb with many ghost hands waiting in front of him.

Ying Zheng hurriedly got out of the carriage, changed his horse, and greeted him.

"Uncle Thumb is so far away, what's going on in the city?" He was slightly worried.

Thumb laughed: "The city is very peaceful, how can there be anything, these dolls heard that the Lord has returned, and they are clamoring to come to greet them, I am afraid that they will make trouble, so I personally led them over." ”

Ying Zheng put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "It seems that I am really loved now, and I am greeted by people wherever I go." ”

"Of course the Lord is welcome." Thumb smiled, "These days, we have all studied the laws of Great Qin diligently, refined the Chinese language and writing, and ensured that we would not add trouble to the Lord." ”

"Alright, alright, let's go back to the city."

The team reorganized and returned to Yiqu City.

Wuchan also led people to greet him at the gate of the city, and happily welcomed Yingzheng back to the palace.

"How was it going out this time, did you encounter anything new?"

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "There are a lot of new things, Suolin is darker than before, the waves of the Yellow River in the north are more turbulent than those in Jincheng, there are fewer trees in Yinshan than before, and the aunts of Jiuyuan are very straightforward." ”

Wu Chan took a sip: "It's not in shape, people ask you about political affairs, where are you going to do this." ”

Ying Zheng laughed, and then told him about the alliance with Tou Mandan Yu, asking for and rebuilding Jiuyuan County, and surveying the North Straight Road.

"No wonder I didn't see Meng Tian, it turned out that you left it in Yinshan." Wu Chan said, "You said that you want to build a Great Wall in Yin Mountain, is this true?" ”

Before Ying Zheng only told her that the Great Wall should be built between Longxi and Beidi County, perhaps it would be extended to Shangjun, and now if another one is built in Yinshan, it will undoubtedly more than double the amount of work, after all, the road is far away, it is not easy to control, and it is at the junction of the two countries.

"Who said that?" Ying Zheng flatly denied it, "I mentioned this matter to him earlier when he was besieging Touman in Yinshan, and this time I will also re-determine. ”

"I don't care." Wu Chan pretended to be angry, pouted and said, "The Great Wall in front of me has been busy enough for a few years, if you build another one in the north, even if the ghost hands are busy coming, the ice Gu will not be enough." ”

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Ice Gu is not enough, can't you use seed worms to hatch larvae, let's cultivate more larvae, just like raising cattle and sheep, the problem will be solved." ”

"My King Qin, you think it's so easy to cultivate larvae." Wu Chan smiled bitterly, "If it were really that easy, the seed insects left over from ancient times would not be extinct." ”

"So what do you say?" Ying Zhengdao.

"It's not easy." Wu Chan didn't think about it, and said directly, "You get some more insects back, and everything will be solved." ”

Ying Zheng: "......"

It turned out that Wu Chan had been citing this topic all the time, in order to let Ying Zheng bring back some more ice Gu insects.

"Besides, you promised me before that if you go to find a seed worm again, you will definitely take me with you." Uchan added.

Yingzheng really said this, but he just said it casually at that time, but he didn't want to dig a big hole for himself.

Ying Zheng said: "To tell the truth, I don't have to say this matter myself, I have to ask the master first." The place where you store your insects is not just for anyone. ”

Wu Chan pursed his lips and said angrily: "Speaking of which, it's not that you don't want to take me." ”

"That's not it." Yun Zheng hurriedly explained, "I still remember the story I told you about Chinese New Year's Eve when I celebrated the New Year a few days ago." ”

Uzen nodded.

Ying Zheng approached her side and muttered mysteriously: "That night beast has eaten many people who have seen it, so these divine beasts can't meet ordinary people, otherwise one of them must die, and then the night beast was punished by me for this reason." ”

"What a rule-breaker this is." Wu Chan somewhat understood some of the concepts of the Heavenly Inheritance, and muttered in a low voice, "But why are you able to get close to those divine beasts?" ”

Ying Zheng said: "I am the descendant of the Tiancheng lineage, so naturally there is no problem." ”

"Isn't that if you join your Tiancheng lineage, you can go and take the Ice Gu Seed Worm?" Wu Chan asked unwillingly.

"Uh......" Ying Zheng paused and said, "In principle, that's the case, but it's ......"

"Don't do it." Wu Chan resolutely said, "Let's go back to Xianyang together, go to Shizun, and ask him to officially accept me as an apprentice." ”

Ying Zheng: "......"
